Re: Bad reaction to DOC Band - worried about time off for healing

June 28, 2007

Thanks Lara. It did need to get adjusted. But it was a little too

late once we figured that out. Now he looks like he was in a war.

He has this cut on his forehead. We certainly know what to look for

now. I'm pleased to know that the helmet will still fit (with

adjustments I'm sure).

We will certainly not give up. In the 4 days he had it on we can see

some changes. So it will go back on!!!!

Thanks,

Lenore
